Rewind: The Week in Rock Daily

Photo: Natkin/Wireimage Rock Daily remembered the Stooges legendary guitarist Ron Asheton, who passed away from a suspected heart attack at age 60. Iggy Pop paid tribute to his “best friend,” we looked back at Asheton’s legacy and his greatest riffs, revisited Asheton talking about his influences and Talk Show Flashbacked to the band’s good old days. Phish Phans and Dead Heads crowded the streets in celebration as both jam band greats announced tour dates for 2009. That’ll give Trey Anastasio ample time to play with that new compressor fans bought him. Not to be outdone, the Allman Brothers announced their annual Beacon run, and we asked readers to tell us their favorite jam bands. In what could be considered good news and bad news, Jimmy Page’s manager announced that plans for Led Zeppelin to tour with a replacement for Robert Plant have been called off. Unfortunately, Page’s manager doesn’t think the band will be touring with Robert Plant at any point either. 2009 is shaping up to be the Year of the Shady Aftermath as Eminem’s “Crack A Bottle” from Relapse and Dr. Dre’s “Could Have Been You,” maybe from Detox, leaked on the Web. Kelly Clarkson revealed her glossy new look and her re-embrace of pop with the covers of both her single “My Life Would Suck Without You” and upcoming album All I Ever Wanted.

Weekend Rock List: Jam Bands

Photo: Slevert/Michael Ochs Archive/ Getty For jam band fans, the past seven days were probably the best week since Phish played that Lemonwheel festival back in 1998: Trey Anastasio and gang, the Dead and the Allman Brothers all announced plans to tour in ‘09. To honor all of the proprietors of 30-minute songs, this week’s rock list is dedicated Jam Bands, those wonderful artists that give us a reason to quit our jobs, stop showering and caravan around in worship. If they jam, they count (thus, Sonic Youth qualifies — we’ll expect to see plenty of Disco Biscuits and moe. in the votes, too) So tell us your picks, and on Monday we’ll bust out Europe ‘72 while we count the votes. Until then, good luck in the Phish ticket lottery and check out our picks: • The Grateful Dead • The Allman Brothers • Phish • Sonic Youth • My Morning Jacket

News Ticker: R.Kelly, Widespread Panic, Achozen, RIAA

R.Kelly, via his remix for Mariah Carey’s “Touch My Body,” announced that his new album is titled 12 Play: Fourth Quarter and that it will be released “soon.” Widespread Panic have been recruited to headline Sunday night after Bonnaroo after the Allman Brothers canceled their performance. Achozen, a collaboration between System of a Down’s Shavo Odadjian and Wu-Tang Clan’s RZA, will begin to digitally release songs from their new album next week. The band describes their music as “heavy hip-hop.” The RIAA spent $2.8 million lobbying in Washington D.C. last year. The group spent the majority of that figure on efforts to limit copyright violations. [Photo: Getty]
